Fort Worth ISD's Improvement Plan to Avoid State Takeover

Fort Worth ISD's Improvement Plan

• 🎯 Fort Worth ISD is developing a plan to improve struggling campuses and avoid a potential state takeover by the Texas Education Agency (TEA).
• ⚡ The district aims to implement bold and urgent action rather than settling for incremental improvements.

Resource Campus Model

• 🏫 A key part of the plan involves placing a group of schools under the TEA's Resource Campus model.
• 🛠️ Under this model, Fort Worth ISD will take accountability for redesigning staffing, instruction delivery, and funding at these campuses.
• 📈 The goal is to achieve the necessary level of improvement for students.

Timeline and Accountability

• 🗓️ The plan is set to be presented at the September 23rd school board meeting.
• ⚠️ The TEA commissioner has set a three-month timeline for a decision on whether the district will remain under local control or face a state-appointed board.
• ❓ It is currently unclear which campuses will be affected or what the implications will be for teachers and staff.
• 📢 Early notification has begun for schools being considered for the program.
